William Evans, a 65-year-old African American man from Durham, North Carolina, was shot and killed on June 25, 2015. His body was found in a parking lot near the entrance of the Red Cross Blood Donation Center on University Drive. Evans worked for many years as a newspaper carrier for the Durham Herald-Sun and was remembered for his reliability and dedication.

Police arrested Evans’ 16-year-old grandson, Dominick Cortez Jackson, charging him with murder and holding him on a $10 million bond. Investigators said Evans often took his grandson along on his route to help him gain responsibility; detectives also accused Jackson of stealing his grandfather’s car and resisting arrest. The motive for the shooting was not clear.

The family declined to comment while the community and the Red Cross offered sympathy and counseling to those affected. Does anyone have information about Evans, his route, or the circumstances that evening that could help clarify what happened?
